• 8 internal ports (Two internal mini SAS HD)
• 6 Gb/s throughput at each port
• PMC 6Gb/s RoC
• Adaptec maxCache 3.0 SSD caching support for read and fully redundant write caching
      – Allows configuration of SSD caching pool in RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E , RAID5
      – Supports up to 8 SSDs with up to 2TB of SSD cache
• Preinstalled flash backup — Adaptec Flash Module (AFM-700) with 2GB NAND flash
• Auto configuration of Simple Volume and HBA modes — "set it and forget it"
• Optimized disk utilization
      – SSDs can be partitioned and some of the capacity can be utilized as separate logical drive to the host (e.g. to boot the OS from)
• Improve quality of service with reduced latency (25x) and accelerated IOPS (up to 25x)

Benefits

Series 7Q RAID adapters support both SAS and SATA devices and offer maxCache 3.0 read and write SSD caching for increased IOPS and lower latency. Ideal for I/O intensive storage applications, NAS, online transaction processing servers (OLTP), web servers, and cloud computing applications.

Customer Needs

High I/O transaction and high bandwidth processing; solutions that reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs.
